Welcome back to my kitchen my friends. Pull up a cozy chair and a warm blanket and join me a while on this Slow Sunday. Let me make you a steaming mug of chai tea or your favourite "joe" and a breakfast bruschetta just as you like it. Would you enjoy a "sunny side up" or poached egg perched on top? Consider it done. Once again sleepy heads we have embraced Slow Sundays, a new feature here at More Than Burnt Toast.

Woah, back up! Today is Tuesday isn't it? Well yes it is my lovelies but because I couldn't miss World Nutella Day on Sunday my Slow Sunday Feature is r-e-a-l-l-y s-l-o-w and arrives on Tuesday. Whenever the mood hits us we will highlight breakfast and brunch ideas that allow us to explore all that a leisurely morning can offer. In my home Sunday is the day for putting my feet up but depending on your schedule maybe you have Saturday or even a Wednesday to do exactly what you would like to do. No matter which Slow Day you can manage the day should be s-l-o-w, no rushing around, no big errands, just taking your time and mozying along. My idea of enjoying a Sunday morning is to have a warm cup of tea and a long and lovingly prepared breakfast. Whether I am entertaining family or friends or am going solo breakfast on the weekend is a highlight of the day. Any time spent in the kitchen is time well spent!

So enjoy a breakfast bruschetta and start your day off with a smile. This is truly one of my favourite ways to start the day.

Preheat oven to 325F (160°C). Place the tomatoes and mushrooms in a roasting pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoonful of oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until tomatoes begin to collapse. Remove from oven and set aside.

Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over high heat. Add the bacon and cook, turning occasionally, for 5 minutes or until crisp. Transfer to a plate.

Toast the bread slices until of desired doneness. Brush lightly with olive oil and rub each slice of bread with the cut side of the garlic clove. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and spread with the herbed ricotta. Serve 2 warm slices per person with a green salad on the side.

that looks so so good. i like a slow sunday too. that's when i pamper myself, treat myself to a bit of something delicious that either takes a while longer or more effort or are simply ingredients I don't use on a daily basis. this looks like a bit of all (:

Congratulations Val! I just saw your entry on Canadian Food Bloggers; love your idea!(between you and I...yours should have come in first).This is my kind of Sunday Slow Cooking; really looks tasty good!Rita

Oh, if only I could capture that Slow Sunday mood on my hectic Tuesday mornings. That would be nice. :)This sounds like a wonderful breakfast for a lazy sunday morning, especially with a really big mug of tea to accompany it. Love the combination of hearty breakfast flavours with the creamy ricotta.

My blog More Than Burnt Toast has been my passion for almost 9 years and has evolved with me over time as I have gained confidence in the kitchen. Follow my travels through Italy and Greece one recipe at a time, upcoming cooking classes at local Okanagan wineries and restaurants, as well as daily experimentation in my own kitchen. Every day we should be excited about what we are eating even if it just means making use of a wonderful find at our local farmers market. I look forward to getting to know you.
